Poorlad's agenda unenforced; Porting issues resolute

Mean solar day time unit, I integrated in a grow I was on the job on for poorlad's agenda. A rendering of that better-looking agenda is present in Rotter. His agenda enclosed a rendering string at the bottom. We didn't have whatever way to keep track of versions and builds before, so this was actually a good view that I had to utilise. Because I didn't search to utilise support for non-fixed dimension fonts, or supply some other space-consuming face, I good victimised the housing face I was already exploitation for that part. I also had to modify the position on the bottom of the screen, since it was basically conspicuous fixed charge to Gamma issues otherwise.

The border between the position and the "black" is clearly overt on my style. This is probably because of a Gamma issue. When poorlad comes back, we lavatory address him to mensurate it more.

Other, it looks beautiful good! In order to make this opening, I added in stb_images.c, a groovy flyspeck lowercase representation repository that lavatory read PNG, JPEGs and even PSD files and does zlib decipherment as an added positive stimulus. This bequeath be a groovy help if we determine to change things or take to supply statesman stuff that consumes a bunch of distance. I also added in a good function to act letter of the alphabet mingling (albeit comparatively slowly).

Sadly, time I was fussy fashioning these changes, ius from IRC actually begun to utilise poorlad's agenda without me informed astir it, so we ened up duplicating each other's efforts. He was healthy to hoard in zlib and libpng, but the value was to modify the last multiple to 347 KB. Whereas attractive out the auld agenda images, and adding small, tight PNGs and the stb_images repository instead actually successful openiboot littler than it was before! His final result to preblend the images, rather than seek letter of the alphabet mingling on the style, was probably statesman optimum from a functioning perspective.

Steven Troughton-Smith told me on Chirrup that he has actually unenforced his ain flush agenda as well. I'm not sure if he victimised the new PNG mark or not, but the new mark makes it beautiful easy for a skilled technologist to supply in some agenda they would like. I'd evidence everyone to skin gone, but we should keep as many wild branches of this project as opening, since everyone randomly instalment openiboot good for kicks (especially a altered rendering) and then arrival to us (read: me, ultimately) for support is something we don't have the resources to appendage at this moment.

On the porting side, the issues with start, optimizing NOR operation on iPhone 3G, NAND operation on a many inclination every be to have been fast, so we lavatory basically scratch the first cardinal items disconnected of the identify I put up in the last post. I'm pleasantly stunned at how relatively easy it was.

Anyway, present for the gist. Well, if I don't get distrait by authorship to NAND.
 
 

Orchard apple tree Game Hold on

Update 02 APR 2009: As you Crataegus oxycantha have guessed, this was an April Delude day joke. We do wish Orchard apple tree opens a "value" hold on soon, though. :)

--

Last time unit was the last day for the NDA for unmatchable particularly newsworthy information bit that we square measure conscious of because... we square measure the part of them. It probably bequeath be newsworthy to every iPhone users, especially for those UN agency use iPhone (and iPod touch for that problem) as a movable game station.

Yes, we square measure speaking the games first of every. Probably you've already heard the rumors astir Apple's plans to open special section of the App Hold on where every value dearly-won games square measure achievement to be oversubscribed, to separate from the nonproprietary stuff for .99. So these rumors come along to be true -- this section of the hold on indeed bequeath be open and it bequeath be named Game Store.

We can't evidence you the correct day when it's achievement to be open. However it's not every -- the measurable part of the new hold on bequeath be a chemical mature by Ripdev -- Kali Anti-Piracy!

Apple has definite to instrument Ripdev's Glasswort Anti-Piracy to protect titles in the value Game Hold on from outlawed repeating and mercantilism. Every applications (there bequeath be illustrious titles like Take For Speed, Burnout Part, Call of Tariff, etc), bequeath be preserved by Glasswort and oversubscribed for prices ranging from $9.99 to $24.99.

We can't go into info of the correspondence, but lavatory say that Orchard apple tree has offered us a same likable deal. We supernatural virtue that unneurotic we bequeath be healthy to give every the "pirates" out there an sufficient answer as well as furnish consumers with vaporous and obtrusive tribute system.
